That seems to be an excuse, rather than an admission of incompetence. For all you hear about how tough DoJ can be about flipping witnesses, they sure don’t seem very good at it. Greenberg is the ONLY person who can testify about Gaetz’s crimes? Target someone and threaten them, use the model they did with Allen Weisselberg … wait, never mind.
That link states the govt does acknowledge that Greenberg cooperated and provided information that helped them charge other people. I guess just for Gaetz, the one high-profile suspect, his entire case relied on Greenberg testimony? Remember Gaetz publicly using Venmo to pay for underage prostitutes? Not a good enough head start for DoJ to build a case. LOL DoJ. LOL at their sheer cowardice.
He isn’t in on it. Biden nominated him for the same reason as Obama: finding common ground with the GOP has value that sometimes trumps partisan goals.
Have you guys considered that maybe Gaetz is a cooperating witness and they’re going after people higher up? Bigger fish to fry, that’s what I’m thinking.
Biden said at the SotU he signed over a hundred bipartisan bills, so at least a little. He spent like 20 minutes talking about bipartisan accomplishments.
Also, if you’re a nihilist burn it all down type and accept that the R base is more radicalized than the D base, pointing out how eager Rs are to compromise with you is good politics.
